"There is a terrible desperation to the increasingly pathetic rationalizations from the climate denial camp. This comes as no surprise if you take the long view; every single undone paradigm in history has died kicking and screaming, and our current petroleum paradigm 🐉🦕🦖 is no different. The trick here is trying to figure out how we all make it to the new ⚡ paradigm without dying ☠️ right along with the old one, kicking, screaming or otherwise." - William Rivers Pitt

In regards to your comments about road costs. I think its worth noting how Texas and their illustrious Governor Perry decided to deal with that very problem, i.e. paved roads being ruined by fracking industry heavy truck useage in the Eagle Ford shale area.

Texas and Gov. Perry plan was to turn the paved roads back into gravel roads and the hell with the damaged pavement. . I actually believe part of their plan was to strip the pavement from paved roads and just let them go the way of the goat trails and the people that lived in the area, well to bad..

In all fairness Gov Perry's plan was put forth a year ago and I managed to escape not shortly thereafter and haven't paid attention to where the plan went.

Yet another example of the mentality of oil or nothing that will surely drive us all back to the goat trails days if we let it.
